Dear Friend,

Dear Friend,
I know your heart has been hurt, and that sometimes your struggle is too much to bear. I am sorry that you've had the one thing you've always dreamed of stripped away from you, and have had to sit back (twice now) and watch it unfold for another beautiful daughter of God.
I am sorry that you have put so much faith and hope in someone, only to see him let you down. I am sorry that you're hurting from the mistakes you've made, and that you also bear much of the burden of the mistakes others have made unto you.
I know there are holes in your heart where there was once love from another, love from a trusted friend. I know there are bruises on your soul from the harsh words of another woman who said things out of jealousy and anger. I know these things hurt, and I'm so sorry that you have to endure it.
But dear friend, your strength is admirable. Despite the broken, bruised, and wounded heart you possess, you want nothing more than to continue to show love. I see that your scared. Scared of love, and scared of living life alone. I pray for the day when your walls come down and you find standing on the other side the incredible man that God has had waiting for you the entire time.
Your passion for life and for Christ is beautiful. While others around you are trying so hard to figure things out on their own, and are trying to find comfort in whoever may come along next, you know that true love is real, and you are courageous enough to wait for it. I admire your will power to follow the Lord, and to consult with Him about every area of your life. It is beautiful that you recognize that you have faults just like everyone else, and that you still have some changes that need to be made before you are prepared for your next stage of life.
I know you often struggle with the "what if's" and you are not always patient in waiting for what your heart desires, but I see inside of you the faith that God will bring you through this dark hour, and in the morning there will be joy and celebration!
Thank you for setting an example to others on how to live passionately for God. You are never fake, and you have no problem admitting when you've slip up, but in all you do, you work to include your Father and ask Him to redirect your paths.
Friend, you will be loved. You already are. Please don't let those blessings go unnoticed, and being the incredible woman that you are, I believe that you realize how beautiful your life truly is, even with all of the pain you've experienced.
Thank you for being a good friend to me. Thank you for loving and caring about me when you often just feel like giving up. You are an inspiration.

Sincerely,
Your Friend.
